Language learners’ motivation towards English learning through the VAK model

Palabras clave: language learning, learning styles, affective factors

Resumen

It has been proven that motivation is an essential factor in the learning process. In the case of learning a new language, this factor becomes even more significant, since it can determine the state of students' readiness to learn and therefore directly influences the success of language acquisition. For this reason, different teaching models have been studied that allow motivating language learners to achieve meaningful learning. One of these is the VAK model. This article presents the results of a study implemented in the Degree in Languages at the Universidad Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco with the objective of determining the effectiveness of the VAK model to improve student motivation and therefore the learning of the English language as L2.
